Too long of a list to put here but I'm wondering why you would be on a real estate site if you have no knowledge of the profession?

With the new lending disclosure regulations going into effect in October, 45 days to close is going to be the new norm for purchases using financing.

A Motivated buyer who gives all the documents requested at time of application, has good credit and Income should be able to close within 30-45 days. More like 45 days. Many of the new lending regulations has caused some delays in the closing process.

to answer this question is to write a book.... one can close a cash deal with no contingencies in the time it takes for an atty to search the title... and it takes very little time if he/she does it him/herself....

Many things can go wrong, especially if you are trying to buy without an agent, buying sight unseen, or using the wrong agent.

If you are going to buy in the states, go to NAEBA.org (National Association of Exclusive Buyers Agents) and find an exclusive buyers agent (called EBA) who will give you 100% Loyalty, 100% of the time.  They never represent sellers.
